Las Huellas

The Footprints

Las Huellas

Walking on the beach I lookedCaminando por la playa yo miré
A pair of footprints in the sandUn par de huellas en la arena
Looking at them I suddenly imaginedAl mirarlas yo de pronto imaginé
That the footprints were mineQue eran de mis pies las huellas
But I couldn't understandMás yo no pude entender
Why there were two and not four footstepsPorque eran dos y no eran cuatro las pisadas
When you promised to walkSiendo que tú prometiste caminar
Here by my side on my journeyAquí a mi lado en mi jornada

My son, I promised to be by your sideHijo mío prometí estar a tu lado
No matter your failuresSin importar tus fracasos
When you only saw a pair of footprintsCuando solo un par de huellas tú mirabas
I carried you in my armsTe cargaba yo en mis brazos
In my arms I carry you, you need strength to continueEn mis brazos yo te cargo, necesitas fortaleza y continuar
I promised to be by your side and without fail you will always find me therePrometí estar a tu lado y sin falta siempre allí me encontrarás
